    How long till some state or the feds get myspace shut down?

    I saw Dateline last nite and they had some cop on there posing as a teenage boy. He claimed it was an experiment to see how much poersonal info he could get on underage girls. Dunno, but that whole type of thing, including the stings some police departments do seem lke entrapment. He didnt actually bust anyone, but he showed three girls' parents what all kind of personal stuff he had on the girls, and showed the girls too. They were shocked as to what all they had divulged. As were the moms. Anyway, with the current administration in Washington, and the way some states, particularly Connecticut (17 assaulted underage girls in that state alone from Myspace) are going after myspace for underage assaults and such, how long before somehow they get the site shut down? I know that no matter what theres gonna be pervs out there looking for underage girls, whethere it be on my space, or yahoo or whatever. But it seems that more and more people are jumping on the myspace hate bandwagon these days. Discuss

        That would be typical of most Americans. Let's blame MySpace, so that we don't have to take responsibilty for fucking up raising our own kids.

              Im not blaming anyone. But the media hype is getting ridiculous. Even the shitty local stations are running stories here about it and warning parents to keep their kids away from the site.

                Newscorp is the no1 loaded weapon of GWB's propaganda. Myspace is a property of newscorp right now. Bush's administration is "picking" targets.

                                But kids are kids. Think of all the stupid things yo9u've done when you were a kid. Some just don't know any better or think logically and it doesn't allows have to do with how they were raised.

                                  My space is great for the administration. When little girls get stalked they turn around and can blame Internet porn even though the 2 are not related in any way.

                                  You do have to ask "WTF is a 13 year old doing with a webcam in their room any way"? I'll get my little girl a webcam one day and setup a PC in the living room where she can communicate with friends and relatives where we can see what's going on. She won't get a computer in her room or in any room with a door on it.

                                    People who are assaulted from MySpace.... I'd like to know the full stories behind that. Do they put up personal info and someone comes to their home and rapes them, or do they willingly meet up with a real person on there who ends up hurting them?

                                    I'm sure it's the latter, and that's like blaming a bar because the guy who the girl met there ended up beating her.

                                    The internet is no different than real life, yet most parents seem to think that just because the computer is in the safety of their own home that it's harmless.

                                        it's the story of the month. it will all blow over.

                                        the day myspace gets shut down by the feds is the day Fox News starts supporting the democrats.

                                          myspace cannot get shut down.

                                          have they shut down yahoo mail because stalkers and losers use it for bad?

                                          do they stop selling handguns because people kill with them?

                                          the same thing happened at friendster and with xanga.

                                          myspace is not going anywhere.

                                          btw, i saw that show. the sickos are having a field day on that site.

                                          disgusting.

                                                    have they shut down yahoo mail because stalkers and losers use it for bad?

                                                    do they stop selling handguns because people kill with them?

                                                    the same thing happened at friendster and with xanga.

                                                    myspace is not going anywhere.

                                                    btw, i saw that show. the sickos are having a field day on that site.

                                                    disgusting.

                                                      1.7 billion for a divorce?

                                                                So very true I hate the way people are never responsible for their own actions these days, its always somebody elses fault.

                                                                  One of the more interesting ideas I came up with was this: The minors cannot enter into a contract to allow their images to be put online (they cannot enter into a contract until adulthood), without the signature of a parent or guardian. Therefore, most of the images that appear on myspace could be considered "used without permission".

                                                                  Just like using zoning laws to close adult business, the lawmakers will find a way to make mysapce suffer if they want to.

More fear-mongering, etc etc. It's the same as how they teach abstinence instead of sex education: they'll scare parents into taking their kids off the internet entirely instead of teaching them how to use it wisely. One more step closer to control of a society from the top.

                                                                                It's obviously not in the interests of myspace.com to be known as a center for pedos.

                                                                                        Pedos are everywhere - they don't need myspace.com to commit offenses, but obviously attracted to locations (web or physical) where children are around. If a website wanted to encourage reporting of suspect activity - simply set up a "Law Office" link to enable staff to check and monitor this if justified.

                                                                                        I'd think any attempt by agencies to close down sites which are operating legally, would be met with some challenges.

                                                                                              They had a lot more teen chat rooms on Yahoo that Myspace doesn't have..
                                                                                              And the only reason they got shut down was because of advertisers threatening to pull their ads if they didn't remove them..

                                                                                              Wonder why they didn't get the media heat that Myspace is getting..?
